Now our hero must reclaim Thor’s hammer, outwit the frost giants and release the gods… First published in 2009, Odd and the Frost Giants has been reimagined by acclaimed artist Chris Riddell in the style of his epic black-and-white artwork from New York Times bestselling The Sleeper and the Spindle, enhanced here with metallic silver ink. The eagle, bear, and fox Odd encounters are Norse gods, trapped in animal form by the evil frost giant who has conquered Asgard, the city of the gods. Odd is on his way with the trio to Asgard to save it from the Frost Giants. Odd, a young Viking boy, is left fatherless following a raid. Er, though not in their normal form, in animal form (a fox, a bear, and an eagle). The thrilling, wintry Nordic tale by Neil Gaiman, who weaves a magical story of legend and adventure that will enchant readers from beginning to end. Fleeing to the woods, Odd stumbles upon and releases a trapped bear…and then Odd’s destiny begins to change. Odd and the Frost Giants is a story about Odd, a young boy, and his meeting with Loki, Thor, and Odin. In his icy, ancient world there is no mercy for an unlucky soul with a crushed foot and no one to protect him. A beautifully illustrated edition of the thrilling, wintry Nordic tale by Neil Gaiman and Chris Riddell, who together weave a truly magical story of legend and adventure that will grip and enchant readers from beginning to end.
